‘Overwatch’ Summer Games 2017 Patch Notes: New skins and more go live in new update

Lace up those sneakers: The 2017 Overwatch Summer Games have officially begun. Alongside the new beachy skins for Soldier: 76, Widowmaker and McCree, the Summer Games marks the return of the special event Lúcioball.

Notably, the skins from last year’s Summer Games are available once again. Since the skins last year were not available for purchase with coins, Blizzard is discounting last year’s Summer Games skins to standard prices. The new Summer Games skins have the typical triple cost that all event skins do.
